dc.description.abstractThe inability of the police to curtail the rising wave of crimes nationwide leave more than desire. The police command often cries out that poor motivation, equipment and logistic have made its anti-crime war ineffective. besides, it appears that till date, the police is equipped with obsolete weapons, are being out-gunned and outnumbered by armed robbers, insurgents, kidnappers, terrorists and rebels. To check this there is rising call for state police. The absence of state police in a federal system like Nigeria is said to be incompatible with the true spirit of federalism, hence the issue of state police as one of the major issues at on-going National Conference in Abuja. This paper therefore examines the contending issues, viability or otherwise of state police. In doing this, the paper examines the historical background, organization structure, legal framework, for and against state police creation in Nigeria. The paper posit that even though the creation of state police may guarantee true federalism, such action should be taken upon the zenith level of cautionary measure in order to guard against conflict of authority and the misused of the state police by the state governmenten_US
